Emeraude de Chivor – A Quick Dip

This a quick test to start putting into practice some of the wonderful behaviours of fountain pen inks learned over the last 18 months. J Herbin 1670 Emeraude de Chivor is a magnificent ink. Not only does it bleed beautifully with water giving these gorgeous cloud like effects, when adding pen on top you get that dark emerald with the deep pink sheen and, of course, that gold. Once the chromatic process had dried inside the circle, all I had to do was decide what to do with it, so, here are two Edwardian lovers frolicking about in the sea. And all this from one ink!

I create art using fountain pen inks and bleach. My techniques epitomise the whole ethos of ‘less is more’ and demonstrate how much one can achieve using very little. It is also a medium that is very much serendipity led and the beauty of the final outcomes are often dictated by this.

That is awesome how you used all the colors that came from this single ink. I’d say you have some talent for art. Plus, you’ve convinced me to retry that bottle of this ink I bought a while back. At the time I didn’t see what all the fuss was about. I’ll try it in a couple of different nibs, and a stub, and see what I come up with.
